In speaking with Mandela, (who seemed to be in quite good spirits and enjoying the experience) he noted that his first match ended in defeat against the 3rd seed, Ahmed Al Saraj of Jordan - ranked 170 in the world professionally and Asian junior champion.
His second match however was tied at 2 all versus Mathieu Grondin of France. It was a very close match. The Frenchman won the last game 11-7 with 2 volley nicks.
Mandela's 3rd match was a 3-0 w/o and his final match was the 53/54th playoff against Yohann Pandole of India which ended 11/9 11/7 5/11 11/5 in Pandole's favour.
Nku Patrick lost his first match to 9/16 seed 3-1.
Mandela indicated that this was a very close match and that Nku had 2 game ball opportunities in the 4th game.
He then lost second match 3-0 but came out on top in the next match with a comfortable win against Leon Bowers of England 11/9 11/2 11/7.
Nku's next match will be the 49/50th playoff against 17/32 seed Hikal Nasir of Malaysia.
This evening, Jan 5th the players at the British Junior Open will be treated to an exhibition match between 2 squash legends and former world champions, Thierry Lincou vs Peter Nicol. The experience must be fantastic for Mandela & Nku and we wish them all the best in the Scottish Open starting Saturday.

An update received from Team6-Games Studio:
Today sees the release of the downloadable version of the new and amazing 3D Squash Video Game released producer Team6-Games Studio and endorsed by WSF. Finally squash fans around the world get the chance to play this amazing sport in a virtual environment and to introduce newcomers to the sport, eventually leading to increased participation at grass-roots level.
This should only take a couple of minutes. Team6-Games would like to ask all WSF members to support this unique project by:
1. Publishing the text in the attachment called "website federation" on your website
2. Email the attachment "Free Game Federations/clubs" to all squash clubs and all other squash related companies
3. Join the affiliate system and earn 25% on each sale. Please fill out the form on the following link http://wsfsquash.com/b2b-request.php See the description on how it works in attachment "free game federations/clubs"
It would be great if we as the producers of this game will succeed with this project, so the video game can be further developed. 74% of all households play video games and the average age of gamers is 37 years old. Nobody needs an explanation that a good squash video game is very important for our sport nowadays, it helps recruiting, is a great learning tool and a great commercial for our top players.
Please let me know if there are any questions
Regards,
Team6-Games Studio
